Hello, I have an APM 2.5 installed in a flying wing airframe. I previously had this APM in a multicopter and had it working well. I installed the ArduPlane V2.72 on the APM, and downloaded and…Continue

Hello!Has anyone had any success in getting your quad to have any obstacle avoidance abilities? I'm not talking about any complex pathing, but rather (at least in my case) will allow for low altitude…Continue

Hello all,I've got my quad working pretty well - has about 3 hours of flight time thus far. I want to set up a flight path which basically repeats either many times, or indefinitely. I figured the…Continue

I've been flight testing my quad a bit and things are going smoothly.. but I've noticed when it gets out of sonar range (10-20) it will jump to 200-300 alt. I am wondering what the issue here may be?…Continue

Also - I have an issue with the boat speeding. I ha have the speed set to 0.5 m/s yet it seems to cruise in the 1-2 m/s range (Full throttle). I have limited the throttle to max 10% in the PIDs but that seems to have no…"

"Wouldn't your altitude problem be related to your throttle issue? If you are in an Auto mode and the AP is calling for increased power due to diminishing altitude, with a reversed throttle a call for increased throttle would result in less…"

Dwgsparky replied to matterenergy's discussion APM 2.5 - No Throttle in Auto/Loiter Mode - LOG attached in the group ArduPlane User Group"In auto mode the throttle only works after take off speed is reached , loiter is also an auto mode. Throttle level is set in the parameters . Set the value for the cruise throttle, switch to auto and throw the plane"
diovoneh replied to matterenergy's discussion APM 2.5 - No Throttle in Auto/Loiter Mode - LOG attached in the group ArduPlane User Group"I had the same problem during my setup in my ground tests but in flight such thing did not happen. (I almost took a risk). at that time I thought it is matter of speed. now it seems it is not! now it is more risky. I had arduplane 2.72!
I appreciate…"

APM 2.5 - No Throttle in Auto/Loiter Mode
Hello! I am having a problem where my aircraft will reduce throttle to zero when I switch on Auto or Loiter Mode. Here are a few things to note: It works fine in Manual ModeIt works fine in Stabilize ModeIt works fine when I switch into Auto/Loiter on the ground (It will power up) I have an airspeed sensor, so did the following:Verified cruise speed is set higher than airspeed sensor value when I kicked on AutoSet cruise speed higher anywayTried disabling the airspeed sesnorI was thinking it…See More
matterenergy replied to Lukas North's discussion Ardurover Auto Mode - No throttle in the group ArduRover User Group"Just to confirm, does it work correctly in manual mode? If so, then consider the following:
You might check, double check, and triple check throttle and everything is hooked up correctly. I know its a "Duh" point, but I have made…"

APM Rover Boat - Hold Mode: Circle vs Stop Moving
Hello,I have what is probably a dumb question but am hoping soemone can help or point me in the right direction... but I just built a boat using APM 2.5, 915mhz 3DR radio. It's working great, I can get it to following waypoints etc - but I am having a small issue- When it gets to the final waypoint...- When I put it on Hold Mode...- And when I point/click "Fly to here" on the map...WHen it holds/arrives at destination, instead of ceasing to move, it starts to circle almost like APMPlane. It…See More

"Perhaps this could provide advantages when talking about a VTOL aircraft which transitions into a high speed fixed wing configuration. "
Dwgsparky replied to matterenergy's discussion Please Help - Elevon Mixing Issues"I had one wing that had the servos in unusual setup and set it in man first, then stab, there was always one combination that would not operate correctly. Doing stab first always worked and is less trouble. Try both!"
Lloyd Breckenridge replied to matterenergy's discussion Please Help - Elevon Mixing Issues"I would tend to disagree with first setting up stabilize however.
I made sure everything worked in manual by mixing the radio.
Then used the reverse options in mission planner to get stabilize working.
Just my thoughts though."
Lloyd Breckenridge replied to matterenergy's discussion Please Help - Elevon Mixing Issues"I tend to agree that the text is wrong it should be 1 to port and 2 to starboard.
I recently pulled everything apart and when I plugged it all back in, everything was OK in manual but stabilize was wrong.
I thought something else must have changed…"
Dwgsparky replied to matterenergy's discussion Please Help - Elevon Mixing Issues"I just checked my wings., all have output 2 from APM to the starboard / right wing. All fly ok"
